Abstract
In the new geopolitical and economic landscape, the transformation of cross-border relations and the strengthening of integration processes with Central Asian countries, particularly in the so-called “eastern vector, " hold significant importance for the development of Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union. Within this context, Siberia’s role in fostering such interactions, with a specific focus on collaboration among regional scientific, educational, and innovation ecosystems, is increasingly vital. This article examines the potential of cross-border cooperation in science, technology, the training of highly skilled professionals, and various approaches to advancing such cooperation. Specifically, it focuses on the dynamic Republic of Kazakhstan and Novosibirsk, which has emerged as the primary scientific and innovative hub for Eurasian cross-border interactions in Asian Russia. By exploring the establishment of a branch of Novosibirsk State University and an Akademgorodok in the city of Konaev, Kazakhstan, the article illustrates the steps involved in Russian-Kazakh scientific, technological, and educational cooperation, as well as the expected outcomes of these collaborative efforts.
